Help Activating Pear in my .ini

pbrane

Hi all

Im using PHP4 and i am trying to get the pear section to work and im having no joy at all !!

i have ran this:

and i continue to get this error:

Fatal error: Failed opening required 'DB.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\adam\assignment\peartest.php on line 8

i have changed the php.ini file in the c:winnt and c:php to the following:

include_path = ".;c:\php\pear"

i did this under the bit where it says windows in files and directories.

Please help as i am lost !!! 🙂

If someone would talk me through it so i cant make anymore errors.

TIA

i faced such similar problems before ..
i think its better to use : include();

try it ..

I could do with a hand on changing the .ini first then i can cry over the php bit later ........ 🙂

Hello,
I was wondering how you ended up solving the problem
of using DB.php with: require_once('DB.php');

While I am able to control the path to the PEAR directory
just fine, the problem is more that in that directory there
is no file called DB.php.

My PEAR directory contains a directory called
go-pear-bundle and a file go-pear.php.

I am using PHP4.3.2 which presumably means that I do not
explicitly have to install PEAR.

So - where is DB.php? What am I forgetting or not understanding ?

(I am also struggling with Windows for the first time, I am
more used to unix where you can do things like "grep" :rolleyes: )

I might be getting very close.
Now why wasn't this little detail mentioned in any of the install php at home guidelines ? 😉

Welcome to go-pear!

Installation: Web browser

You can now use go-pear via a webbrowser, thanks to Christian Dickmann. It is

still beta codes, but feel free to test it:

1.: Download the go-pear script by using the "Save target as ..." function

of your browser here.

2.: Place the go-pear file somewhere under the document root of your webserver.

The easiest way is to create a new directory for pear and to put the file in there.

Be sure your web server is setup to recognize PHP, and that you use an appropriate

extension. For example, you might name this file gopear.php

3.: Access go-pear through your webserver and follow the instructions. Please

make sure that PHP has write access to the dir you want to install PEAR into.

For example: http://localhost/pear/gopear.php

4.: After running go-pear you get a link to the Web Frontend of the PEAR installer.

I suggest bookmarking this link.

5.: Protect the Web Frontend directory and the go-pear script with a password.

Use .htaccess on Apache webservers for example.
